[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/JetpackJoyride_TitleCard-720x380_3909.jpg]]Well, this is some nice music... [[DynamicEntry HOLY CRAP]] [[ThereWasADoor SOMEBODY JUST BLASTED THROUGH THE WALL AND STOLE THE JETPACK THAT WAS LYING THERE!]]

''Jetpack Joyride'' is an interesting and addicting little game by Creator/HalfbrickStudios for the iOS and free for download on PlayStation Network and Windows 8 that stars Barry Steakfries. [[EndlessRunningGame The goal is to travel as far as you can.]]

At least, it was initially.

After several updates, the game now has coins, [[AndYourRewardIsClothes outfits, and different jetpacks,]] various upgrades and gadgets, and even achievements.

----

!! This game provides examples of:

* AllThereInTheManual: There are evil scientists who want to take over the world and Barry breaks into their secret laboratory to use their own inventions against them.* AwesomeMcCoolname: Barry Steakfries.* AwesomeYetImpractical: Pretty much all of the vehicles, especially the Crazy Freaking Teleporter. Unless, of course, you get the coin magnets.** The golden piggybank jetpack is stated in the description to be the most wasteful thing ever made. It's propelled by ''money''.* {{Badass}}: Barry Steakfries himself.* BadassBeard: The Knight Helmet and Medieval Armour give Barry one.* BlingOfWar: The gold vehicle upgrades make the vehicles look pretty and shiny. Also, [[NotActuallyCosmeticAward they slightly increase the value of collected coins]]. There's even a gold and platinum version of the Machinegun Jetpack!* BloodlessCarnage: Being landed on by a vehicle or blasted by a shotgun results in a blood-free dismemberment for scientists.* CanineCompanion[=/=]RobotBuddy: Flash the Robot Dog.* ChromeChampion: Robo-Barry.* CoolBike: The Bad [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar As]] Hog.* DemBones: One clothing set is simply Barry's skeleton.* {{Dissimile}}: The flavor text for the Golden Gravity Suit.-->"Just like a gold bar, except it's a [[GravityMaster gravity-manipulating]] [[PoweredArmor cyber suit.]]"* EndlessRunningGame: Subverted. At 30,000 meters, there is an unavoidable laser wall. This is why the highest score is 30,000.** However, this can be bypassed with Strong Arm Machine. This means, the person who topped the leaderboard is welovecereal[[note]]On Game Center[[/note]], with a high score of 37,616![[note]]Also on Game Center[[/note]] Ever since that was achieved, no other person could top that off.* EverythingsBetterWithCows: When equipped with the [[Film/{{Twister}} Twister]] Jetpack.* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: The [[CaptainObvious Rainbow Jetpack]], natch. It is harmless and doesn't scare the scientists.* FluffyTheTerrible: Mr. Cuddles the Giant Fire-breathing Robot Dragon.* FrickinLaserBeams* FunnyBackgroundEvent: When the scientists run away from you, some will be unfortunate enough to run into a zapper and knock themselves out.* FunWithAcronyms: The largest vehicle in the game is the '''S'''trong '''A'''rm '''M'''achine.* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Back from Fruit Ninja, the achievement "Tee Hee Two" -- Collect '''69''' coins.** The Bad As Hog; it was originally named Bad Ass Hog. The previous game in the series does use the name Badass Hog.** Because the music video can be watched in the game, it has Barry and the Tailor having Champagne. So yeah, that also counts.** The flavor text for the Zombie T-Rex exclaims "Holy balls!".* HeroicMime: Barry.* HotBlooded* HumongousMecha: The S.A.M. is of the variety with tank treads instead of legs.* {{Jerkass}}: Barry can be seen as this, although the scientists are evil.* JokeItem: The Nerd Repellent. It makes all the scientists disappear, leaving cobwebs and tumbleweeds in their place, and offers no direct gameplay benefits. However, [[LethalJokeItem it can come in handy if you have a mission that requires you to not harm scientists]]. There is also a mission that requires you to buy and use the Nerd Repellent.* MoreDakka: The Machine Gun Jetpack is propelled by recoil alone.* PermaStubble: Barry.* PowerupMount: Barry has seven to choose from.** [[CoolBike The Bad As Hog.]]** [[TeleportersAndTransporters The Crazy Freaking Teleporter.]]** [[MiniMecha Lil']] [[GroundPound Stomper.]]** [[ExtremeOmnivore Profit Bird.]]** [[GravityMaster Gravity Suit.]]** [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Mr. Cuddles.]]** [[RoaringRapids Wave Rider]]** [[HumongousMecha The]] [[GameBreaker S.A.M.]] (At least, once per day).* RuleOfCool* RuleOfFun* ShoutOut: Several of the purchasable items and their flavor text deliver these.** [[Franchise/DragonBall The Powered Up Hair and the Super Suit.]] The FlavorText for the first is "We're not sure what the PowerLevel of this hair is. It's probably a lot," and [[MemeticMutation it even costs]] [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale 9001 coins.]]*** Best when riding Mr. Cuddles.** Barry's undercover female disguise, "[[Film/MrsDoubtfire Mrs. Doubtfries.]]"** One head/body pair makes a Barry-Franchise/{{Terminator}} (not to mention riding the Bad As Hog makes you blast nearby scientists with a shotgun).** The Sensei's Threads and the accompanying headband serve as a reference to ''VideoGame/FruitNinja,'' also by Halfbrick.-->"Now take good care of this suit. It took forever to get the fruit stains out, and no way are we cleaning it again."** There's even a suit that makes Barry dressed like [[Franchise/TheMatrix Neo.]]** The Heartbreak Hair and the Jailhouse Jacket obviously alludes to Music/ElvisPresley.** The [[Film/{{Twister}} Twister Jetpack]] catches cows that occasionally spawn in the lab when equipped. -->"Rated at F3 on the Fujita Scale, this jetpack is capable of [[Film/TheWizardOfOz relocating an entire house over the rainbow.]]"** The [[ExtremeOmnivore Profit Bird]] sure looks like the red [[VideoGame/AngryBirds Angry Bird.]] Even better, it spews out money from the back when the wings flap, referencing [[CashCowFranchise how much money Angry Birds has made]]. It also looks like the main protagonists of ''Tiny Wings'', another bestselling [=iOS=] game featuring birds (the Profit Bird Flash uses is blue, making it look even more like the ''Tiny Wings'' bird).*** And it even makes sounds similar to the ones the Birds make.*** There's even an achievement called "Angry Wings" for getting the Profit Bird twice in one run.** The achievement for knocking over 1000 scientists is called "[[SelfDemonstrating/GLaDOS For Science]]," and its icon resembles [[{{VideoGame/Portal}} the logo for Aperture Science]].** The Gravity Suit references a game called ''Gravity Guy.''** The achievement for buying two jetpacks is called [[Film/JamesBond James Who?]]** The [[Series/DoctorWho Barrybox]], a TARDIS-like skin for the Crazy Freaking Teleporter.** Version 1.7.3's description for Magnet Man says [[Music/InsaneClownPosse Magnets: how do they work?]]* SleevesAreForWimps: Barry.** Averted with Barry's stitched up suit, and partially in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWJ0CK3GOtE official music video]], as he needs some new shirt sleeves! Watching the music video in the game rewards you with that suit. If you die while wearing it, the sleeves fly off.* TemptingFate: There's a sign by the selected jetpack that states quite clearly, "Do Not Steal." [[CaptainObvious Guess how every single Jetpack Joyride run starts.]]* [[ThereWasADoor There Was A Wall]]: See above.* UniversalDriversLicense: Barry takes this to [[UpToEleven utterly ridiculous extremes.]] He can competently pilot a jetpack, a CoolBike, a [[MiniMecha mechanical super stomper,]] [[GravityMaster a gravity-manipulating]] [[PoweredArmor cyber suit,]] [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot a flying, firebreathing, robotic hybrid dragon]], [[TeleportSpam a teleporter]], and [[ExtremeOmnivore a coin-eating robot bird.]]* WholesomeCrossdresser: Barry can become one of these when equipped with the makeup and purple dress.
